History & design
Integrating the electric sustainer
The Discus-2c FES first flew on 5 November 2015 with Schempp-Hirth engineer Joachim Krauter at the controls. The manufacturer had already used LZ Design's sustainer in the Ventus-2cxa. The integration brought the electric motor into the Discus-2c's cross-country sailplane configuration.
